Bruh, this studio has only worked on shitty Chinese cartoons.

I thought I was going to like this but after watching the PV, this looks like a shitty version of a superior version from A-1 Pictures' "Interviews with Monster Girls" or Demi-chan for short.

you know, 10 years ago people would have made a poster for something like this as a joke regarding how dumb anime could become in the future.
well

I've never posted any of my reviews on MAL before, but I'm going to post a review with this anime simply for the fact that it has a horse...

The one thing that I'm really going to pay attention to in this anime is the sound. This anime will fail if the sound director doesn't add any "clip-clop" sounds when the horse is walking.

The horse aspect drives me away. Looks so stupid.

Hmm it looks okay. Moe, Yuri, and Fanservice. Most people will love it.

Eh, the studio and staff look kinda meh but I hope they can turn this into an enjoyable show. Only really watching this cause I have a thing for centaurs.

The PV looks actually good in all honesty. And well with the additional staff members around I think the additional staff members looks alright. And with this overall I am looking forward to it considering how much stuff I've heard from manga readers that's really nice.

Also: Just because it's made by China for me doesn't really equal much shit to be honest. Yeah they have a pretty bad track record at times but when I look around they did had quite some decent stuff in the past, and some few good ones.

I think it's time we stop talking about studio since 9/10 times ppl have no idea what they are talking about.

Anyways, let's get to the staff list since that actually matters. This will have a chief director and director. Similarly to AoT anime atm with Araki Tetsurou and Koizuka Masashi. With that in mind, we can assume that the chief director is the one with the creative control while the director is doing the technical work. So let us look at their portfolio: Both are prolific animators who have a number of work spanning to the early 2000s late 90s. With that in mind, we can assume that as animators in the past they have a great eye for composition. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some great shots and sakuga here and there. Especially considering the series director, Konno Naoyuki, is renowned as one of the Kanada-school animators. What really interests me about Konno Naoyuki is that he worked on 2 of the most over the top SHAFT projects in the past. Works where Shinbo's presences were extreme. I am not calling him an ex-shaft guy but we might see some influence in his work. So that's getting me a bit hyped. Machida Touko who is doing the series composition really doesn't have a bad series under her belt. If she does its due to the soruce not her own abilities are a series composer.

Overall, looking at the staff there isn't anything too worrying. Stop fear mongering because the studio is a chinese studio. The staff are all japanese.

It have good staff but i am still skeptic about it being as good as the manga.

The music doesn't match the theme of the manga but other than that everything look okay so far.
Till spetic tho .

The staff and the studio worried me a bit, but the PV looks okay. Now let's wait for a trailer to hear how the actresses sound like.

And it looks like they're not skipping the yuri scene.

Based on the promo, if they adapt it like a standard SoL with few quirks and don't fuck it up, it's gonna be a solid 7/10 for me.

I'm not impressed yet by the staff of this series so far. Well at least the PV looks okay.

White haired girl in the PV looks almost same as the one from Eromanga-sensei
